All of the atomic nuclei of the chemical element seaborgium are summarized under seaborgium isotopes; these consist of an atomic nucleus with 106 protons and in the uncharged state of 106 electrons. The difference between the individual seaborgium isotopes lies in the number of neutrons in the nucleus - and thus in the mass number.
As in the other synthetic elements, there are no stable isotopes of seaborgium either, i. H. the nuclides decay quickly and are highly radioactive.
The undoubted first isotope of Sg produced was 263mSg in 1974.
There are now 12 radioisotopes in total between 258Sg and 271Sg as well as 2 core isomers (261mSg and 263mSg) are known. These were either generated by bombarding two lighter atomic nuclei or were temporarily observed as intermediate products during the decay of heavier atomic nuclei.
The longest-lived seaborgium isotope is 269Sg with a half-life of 3.1 minutes; it occurs in the decay chain of one of the flerovium isotopes - 285Fl.
